Pleasant Evening.
Last Tuesday evening Chas. T. Logan
entertained a number of his Masonic
brethern, at his home on Fifth street.
After enjoying a pleasant evening at
cards, the guests were invited to par
take of an elegant supper, prepared in
Mrs. Logan's superb style and ele
gantly served.
Chas. T. Logan is the only son of
our esteemed citizens, Mr. and Mrs
John D. Logan, and soon leaves to ac
cept. a position near Johnstown. He
is a bright, active and very intelligent
young man and we wish him well.
That he will succeed in life there is
little doubt, for he has had the careful
training and care of watchful and fond
parents. The PRESS takes pleasure in
testifying to his excellent character
and high standing in this community,
where he was born and grew to man
hood.
Called to Stand by Quay.
Philadelphia Record, Dem.
HARRISBUKG, Pa., March 27.—Sena
tor Grady, on account of his having
been chairman of the caucus in which
a majority made Mr. Quay their nom
inee for United States Senator, issued a
statement to-night, to the effect that
the result ■ of primary elections so far
held for delegates lo the Republican
State Convention "show unmistakably
that the Republican voters of the Stato
sustain the action of those who have
consistently voted for Mr. Quay from
the outset of the Senatorial contest."
"In the controversy existing," said
Mr. Grady, "there is an absence of the
bitterness that characterized the Sena
torial deadlocks of theso's and the 80's,
and another element of absence is that
of union among the dissenters, or self
styled insurgents.
QUAY'S ELECTION A LOGICAL RESULT.
"There is no influence needed to
supply cohesion, as is evidenced in our
two months' trial, wherein there has
been a change of but three votes. The
solid lines come up daily to the fray
without a murmur or waver, and gives
promise of staying qualities that were
not found existing in the prior contests
where they ultimately chose a now
man, because they could not hold a
sufficient number together to make a
balance of power.
"In this view even the inexperienced
iu politics admit that the election of
Senator Quay is the only logical result
of this unfortunate, ill-advised and
unnecessary controversy, which in its
solution will hurt many and benefit
only a few, for if the recent county
conventions forecast anything it is that
of strict accountability for party loy
alty, and the instances of party dis
loyalty will certainly meet with party
rebuke."

Mr. Fetter's Lodge Question.
Editor Cameron County Press :
Replying to Mr. Fetter's article in
the Independent last week.
Ido not know that he means me at '
all, as I do not run down any lodges,
nor do I know of any ministers in this
town who do, but I would like to take
the part of some one to whom he refers,
for the purpose of getting them better (
acquainted with each other. Churches
do not advocate secret societies but
are not antagonistic to them either.
Looking at both sides closely we
might learn:
Ist. If the people would give the
churches as much time and money as
they do tho lodges, the churches could
return as many or more benefits.
2nd. The churches sing "Requiems"
over the graves of people who never
pay them a cent.
3rd. Standard Insurance Companies
furnish more reliable and cheaper in
surance than any of the secret societies.
I think that lodges are doing a great
amount of good, and furnish some
benefits the insurance companies do
not, and I hope the Golden Eagles will
have a grand rally at their next session,
but please do not neglect the churches
or think you are doing any more im
portant work, because they set the
highest standard of "Honor to God
and Good Will to all Men."
Respectfully,

Birthday Surprise.
Last Monday evening, a number of
gentlemen friends of Mr. Riley Warner,
■ the popular proprietor of the Warner
i House and one of our oldest citizens,
paid that gentleman and family a very
pleasant call in honor of Mr. Warner's
| 71st birthday. The party was com
i posed of the following gentlemen:
I Hon. J. C. Johnson, Geo. J. Laßar,
) Henry Auchu, G. F. Balcom, D. W.
! Fe't, Josiah Howard, C. F. Mankey,
; Hon. I. K. Hockley, Thos. Gallagher,
■ A. C. Blum, J. D. Logan, G. S. Allen,
jF. G. Judd and ye editor. Tho party
J was pleasantly received by Mr. Warner
i and wife and after giving a rising
j toast to the health, happiness and
| prosperity of one of the most active
1 and energetic young old men in Cam
eron county, all hands were invited to
! take a hand in King Pedro, Mr. W.'s
favorite pastime. Well, sufli ce it to
| say that there was plenty of fun and
j time flew rapidly. An elegant supper
! was served in the spacious dining
; room. Then came more Pedro, ac
companied by "grand stand plays" by
j Messrs. Mankey, W. H. Howard and
j Blum and others. The jolly party dis
; banded at mid-night, after having
I passed a very enjoyable evening, wish
-1 ing the genial host and his good,
motherly wife many sincere wishes
that both may be spared to celebrate
similar occasions for many years.
' Just here it occurs to us that we do
not know, among our acquaintances, of
an- fier person of Mr. Warner's age,
upon whom the hand of time has fallen
so lightly. He is apparently just as
hale and hearty as when we first met
him, thirty years ago That he has
tauen excellent care of himself and
observed the laws of nature is a self
evident fact. After following the hotel
business for half a century, he does
not know the taste of liquor, never
having taken a drink in his life.
The PRESS extends its best wishes to
this very hospitable family and hopes
their fondest wish for the future may
be realized—the celebration of their
goluen wedding in 1900.
Easter Service.
At the M. E. Church will commence
at 10:30 a. m., preaching by the pastor
Wilford P. Shriner. Sunday school
service will commence at 11:45 a.m.,
by an open service called "Magdalene."
After the study of the lesson—"The
Raising of Lazarus" —a short Easter
service will be held. The church will
be decorated as far as plants and
flowers will permit. Preaching in the
evening at 7:00 o'clock.
Front Seat in the Band Wagon.
Don M. Lnrrabee is making a record
as one of the hustling insurance men
in the State and is rapidly forging to
the front with the New York Life In
surance Co. Last Tuesday he received
the following telegram from the Man- ,
ager of the Western Pennsylvania ■
office: "Erie, Pa., March 23th, 1899. j
Congratulations. You're not only in
the band wagon but sitting with tho !
driver."
Blood Poison.
Dr. A. W. Baker has been confined
to his residence since last Sunday, suf
fering from the effects of blood poison
in his right hand and arm. While the
Dr.'s friends have been greatly con
cerned about his condition, Dr. Bard
well, who is in attendauce upon the |
case, informs us that Dr. Baker is now j
getting along as well as could bo ex- j
pected under the circumstances and j
does not apprehend any very great j
danger.
His Leg Broken.
Michael McLaughlin, of the firm of
Cassidy & McLaughlin, the Cross Forks
lumbermen, had his left leg broken a j
few days ago. He was struck by a log j
while supervising operations on a side j
hill. His partner, Mr. Cassidy, is re- j
covering from a similar injury sus- ■
tained in December. —Renovo News.

Oldest flason in America.
During the laying of the cornerstone
of the Masonic widows' and orphans'
home at Fort Worth, Tex., there were
a number of gentlemen present whose
ages far exceed the allotted three-score
| years and ten. Among them was Ab
| raham Cohen Labatt, of Galveston,
| aged 97;; years. Mr. Labatt is the
I oldest Mason in the United States and
j was a member of the first Masonic
lodge organized in America—that of
! St. John's in Boston. Mr. Labatt was
i born in Charleston, S. C., July 2, 1802.
j To a reporter he told the following
j history of himself:
"I spent my boyhood days there
amid the historic scenes through which
j the young Republic passed. When I
I was made a Mason by a special dispen
i sation of the (Jrand Lodge in 1825, I
I-lacked a few months ot being of age,
I but LaFayette, the grand old French
! man, was coming and we wanted to
: welcome him as Masons with as great
i a crowd as we could gather. We met
LaFayette a few miles down the river
from Charleston, and I witnessed the
beginning of his historical journey
i through the nation to the history of
■ which he has added his great and
i glorious name. I have witnessed the
| growth of our country from the days
when General Jackson was the hero of
j the hour, through the great war with
| Mexico, through the bloody Civil War
J and the war with Spain, to the moment
S when the new heros—Dewey, Hobson
I and Schley, all of them born and some
grown old within my time—claim the
gratitude of the grandest nation on
earth.
A Lesson in Advertising,
Occasionally merchants in small
towns say that advertising in the lines
followed by the large city stores will
not pay them and they follow the old
style until some enterprising dealers
show them the contrary. To all such
the following story and moral from
the Popular Bluff (Missouri) Republi
can are commended for careful con
sideration:
"When we were publishing a paper
in 1872 in Mt. Vernon, on the second
floor, a store opened in the room under
our office. The senior proprietor
came up stairs and contracted for three
columns of space for twelve months
with locals e.ich issue and 5,500 dodgers
each week. He remarked it was a
snap to get into a town where other
business men did not advertise. This
firm started on borrowed capital In
three years it had money enough to
start two stores, one in Sedalia and
one at St. Louis It dissolved partner
ship and each member took a field to
himself. Byron Nugent was the part
ner who made the contract and who is
now a junior member of the firm of B.
Nugent & Bros., the great St. Louis
house He not only owns the store
building and grounds, but is now
erecting a modest little cottage home
which will cost him $87,000. We must
add that some of the old mossbacks
who were in business before Byron
Nugent ever saw the place are still
grumbling about dull trade and hard
times."
How a Town is Populated.
Every town has a liar or two; a smart
Alec; some pretty girls; more loafers
than it needs; an old fogy that the town
would be better off without; men who
stand on the street corners and make
remarks about the women; a man who
laughs an idiotic laugh every time he
says anything; scores of men with the
caboose of their trousers worn smooth
as glass; men who can tell you how the
war question ought to be settled, and
how to run other people's business,
but who have made a dismal failure of
their own.—Ex.
